2011 handbook advice

got this from Claudia. thanks, galfriend :)

your health
  • drink plenty of water
  • eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar
  • eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants
  • live with the 3e's - energy, enthusiasm and empathy
  • make time to pray
  • play more games
  • read more books than you did in 2010
  • sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
  • sleep for 7 hours
  • take a 10-30 minutes walk daily ... and smile while you walk
personality
  • don't compare your life to others, you have no ideas what their journey is all about
  • don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control; instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment
  • don't waste your precious energy on gossip
  • dream more while you are awake
  • envy is a waste of time; you already have all you need
  • make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
  • no one is in charge of your happiness except you
  • realize that life is a school and you are here to learn; problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime
  • smile and laugh more

  • call your family often
  • each day give something good to others
  • forgive everyone for everything
  • spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6

  • what other people think of you is none of your business
life
  • do the right things!
  • get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
  • God heals everything
  • however good or bad a situation is, it will change
  • no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
  • the best is yet to come
  • when you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it
  • your inner most is always happy; so, be happy
